One killed as explosions rock central Baghdad
Published in Saudi Press Agency on 17 - 04 - 2005

Another loud explosion rocked central Baghdad late Sunday.
Earlier, several blasts and a shooting incident shook the
city, killing at least one civilian, Iraqi police officials
said.
Iraqi police had no immediate information on the fourth
explosion, AP reported.
One Iraqi was killed and two others wounded when two
roadside bombs detonated near a small amusement park in
central Baghdad, an Iraqi police official said Sunday.
The first explosion occurred outside an amusement park in
the Baghdad neighborhood of Zayouna. Some 20 minutes later,
another blast took place in the same area, near a gas
station outside al-Shaab athletic stadium, but did not
cause any material damage, the police official said.
Also late Sunday in the Yarmouk district in the west of
Baghdad a roadside bomb attack wounded two Iraqi policemen
who were evacuated to a nearby hospital, said Maj. Moussa
Abdul Karim.
Unidentified gunmen opened fire on an Iraqi police patrol
in the Ghazaliyah district, also in Baghdad's west, Karim
said.
Two police officers and two civilians were wounded, the
assailants escaped after the attack, he said.
The U.S. military said it had no information on the
attacks.
